After Prince’s death last year, 3rdEyeGirl guitarist Donna Grantis and her music executive husband, Trevor Guy, had to decide where to live. They ruled out a return to their hometown of Toronto. They tried Los Angeles for a while and even tested New York City for two weeks.
They ended up in Minneapolis, choosing the Uptown neighborhood last fall after a few years in Chanhassen. Now they have a 5-month-old boy and a new band, simply called Donna Grantis, which will make its debut Friday at Minneapolis’ Dakota Jazz Club — the same venue where 3rdEyeGirl gave its first performance.
Over dinner at an Uptown restaurant last week, Grantis talked about her new band, her influences and, of course, Prince. She’s still sporting her long brown hair with the left side of her head shaved, but her makeup and clothes are less flamboyant than in the 3rdEyeGirl days.
